St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1887-12-25


(Collect) Aberdeen, Oak.
The fields are barren and the snow
Lies piled in drifted heaps along the road;
My heart thumps fast against my liver down
below,
AS sit reaping crops Of oats I've 'sowed."
l press my hot cheek fast against the window
pane!
The tears fall down and freeze upon my
nose
Remorse and yearning fill my gaping pores
with pain,
And rack my marrow-bones clear to my
toes!
The burning thought that in my memory
reigns-
In locking out upon these fields so bar
Is that while all the Fields have blue blood
flowing through their veins,
Not one OF them has ever yet become
baron!
And, therefore, since 1 cannot pose as noble
stock
And cut a caper among the foreign ma
tionsI
drink to your good health in royal hook,
And send the GLOBE my kind congratula

read the daily papers, and l would like to
mention
That keep a little list-Ive got little
list
An d on this list are papers which read with
close attention,
While some would not be missed-you bet,
would not be missed.
The GLOBE dote upon. though, and cannot
do without,
1t always prints the good stuff that people
care about
I read it first of all-it drives away my govt
1t leads my little list-yes it's first upon the
list.

What. Do 1 ramble amid the yaporings of
mine Imagination
Do see a transformation IN the land of the
wild Indian!
If this keeps on your GLOBE will swallow up
the universe,
And take with ii a Il fish and flesh, and fowl
and things of earth
Oh, GLOBE be warned!

The GLOBES conceded best of all
One never gets his fill
Upon your taste it does not pail
Your friend, A. X. MCGLL,
st. Peter, Mimi.
On this day of joy and cheer,
When on turkey we all dine
When the poor man drinks his beer
And the rich man gulps his wine
England drinks the GLOBES good health,
And we fill our stOmachs full
And wish for you content and wealth.
Do likewise for John Bull.

Despite the roasts you've given me,
l do admire your pluck!
So, join me in cup of tea,
And, Here's to your good luck!"
GILBERT A. PIERCE, Bismarck, Oak.
If you'll move your paper down here,
And infuse some new life in the town,
Well dump our own sheets on a funeral bier
And give you million cash down.

From Ohio to old louisiana
From there back to Utah again

Despite disaster still advocate division,
Of course l hear you laugh in rank derision
But how could do anything but this,
When Mrs. c. comes up and, with kiss,
Says: Dear, give me one-half the GLOBE to
read
While you have half-which sure is all you
need;
I cannot wait until you've read it through"
Now, friends, what is man to do?
Divide you say-wen that is my decision
And that is why I'm still firm for division.
HUGH j. CAMPBELL, Yankton, Oak.
